Last night I was up late watching some recaps from 2012 summer games. I noticed in the 50m fr they talked about the "straight" arms of swimmer so and so... in a dead sprint like that do most all out sprinters just swing their arms straight instead of having any real elbow bend?

Straight arm UNDER WATER ? Will this be a really heavy load on the shoulders?
Actually it shouldn't be if you're pulling correctly. The load of the pull should really fall on your lats after you catch.
And really biceps, while certainly used, are not a major contributor to the pull in free.
